Federal Employee Demographics and Integration of State Retirement Plans With Social Security

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on social security coverage for Federal civilian employees, including demographic data on employees now covered by the civil service retirement system (CSRS) and an analysis of the approaches used by several States to integrate social security into their staff retirement plans for general employees. GAO also reviewed the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) retirement system, because it is the largest Federal retirement system that is integrated with social security.
